this was soooooo good!

Key Lime Pie.....

I used this recipe, BUT, I used a packet of gingernut biscuits in the base. I don't have a food processor, I just bashed them with a mortar, or is it the pestle? Mine was rather, now what is the word they use these days, RUSTIC!

I used low fat condensed milk (I just had it in the pantry, and why we even had a tin of condensed milk, or low fat at that is beyond me).

I used lime in a bottle (gasp) and therefore no zest.

I used WAY MORE lime that the recipe, because I am not so into sweet, but very into tart.

I took this to a girlfriend's for lunch and it was a huge hit. (Very rich though). Miss Paradise had two pieces. Lil sis was the only one that thought it "too limey"- not too limey to eat every last morsel on her plate though.

In fact we enjoyed it so much, the above pic was an afterthought (and a bad shot taken with my phone). Half had already been eaten!
